Case la Țară în Palaçoulo

Gabriella Ungaria

In a quiet settlement, an old house that has been very carefully renovated. Clean, fully equipped kitchen. The hostess is very kind and helpful. The breakfast is very plentiful, fresh warm bread every morning. Nearby is a fantastic vantage point for the valley of the Douro River.

Spotless cleaning, really. Beautiful traditional location, with a farmyard in the back. Great beds and cutlery. Freshly baked bread every morning. Great olive oil extracted locally. Soap made with local donkey milk. Very friendly owners, they offered a bottle of wine as a welcome gift and catered for a meal as we arrived late in the evening. Showed us the donkeys (Burricos de Miranda) and give us invaluable tips on what to see and where to eat. Taught us about the local traditions and invited us over to stay for the "pauliteiros" performance on the local holy day / holiday (feast of St Barbara in Atenor). The kids loved playing with the friendly dogs (Madonna, Uva and Silva) that live in the property; Uva and Silva are of a local breed (Castro Laboreiro Dog). Very nice little village around (Atenor) for a stroll.
